Synopsis
BATMAN THE GIANT! Batman is turned into a thirty-foot giant by a scientist's Maximizer ray, and the Minimizer which can restore him to normal height is stolen by a crook. As Batman starts his hunt for the criminal, he creates too much damage and destruction to Gotham City, and is soon asked to remain outside Gotham to prevent further complications. Batman then decides to lure the criminal to his location on the outskirts of the city, and using the maximizer ray, the crook is turned into another giant to fight Batman. Robin arrives in time to join the battle. Eventually the criminal is subdued, and Robins uses the minimizer ray on the fighting foes, returning them to their normal size. But, with all the recent uses of the two machines, their rare power sources have been exhausted. THE AMAZING GROWTH MACHINE THE CRIMINAL FROM OUTER SPACE TOR, a Martian robot turned into a criminal by a tragic error, was trapped on the dead planet Turas by J'onn J'onzz. Now that the solar dust is destroying him and he only has 24 hours existence left, he takes control of notorious gangster Marty Kirk and sends the now indestructible criminal to destroy the Martian Manhunter.
